WM3B2915ABG)Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection (model WM3A2915ABG)NOTE:Due to the evolving state of regulations and standards in the wireless LAN field (IEEE 802.11 and similar standards), the information provided herein is subject to change. Intel Corporation assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions in this document. Nor does Intel make any commitment to update the information contained herein.Information for the userSafety NoticesThe FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection adapter meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.The following safety precautions should be observed:● Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving. ● Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. ● Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the radio may be damaged. ● Use in specific environments: ❍ The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is
limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments. ❍ The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). ❍ The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital. ● Antenna use: ❍ In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more from the body of all persons. ❍ High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements. ● Explosive Device Proximity Warning (see below) ● Antenna Warning (see below)● Use on Aircraft Caution (see below)● Other Wireless Devices (see below)● Power Supply (Access Point) (see below)Explosive Device Proximity WarningWarning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.Antenna Warnings Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended for the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG
Network Connection adapter installed in a desktop or portable computer, that the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide a separation distance of al least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons and that the antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter. It is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 20 cm (8 inches). This device has also been evaluated for and shown compliant with the FCC RF exposure limits under portable exposure conditions (antennas are within 20 cm of a persons body) when installed in certain specific OEM configurations.
